Well there are no US sales taxes at a national level, but many states will add sales tax of up to 10 percent, which will be added to the prices quoted. In a lot of states it is disguised further and called a registration fee. As an example in Oregon (no sales tax) $20. In california about 8 percent

In the UK I beleive that we have a 10 percent vehicle duty, plus the 17.5 percent VAT

Also the US currency is being deliberate kept at a lower rate of exchange that what would reflect real equal values of the currencies.
